Rental Dumpsters in New Albany, Indiana

/in , , /by

Sitting on the Ohio River , connected to Louisville by the Sherman-Minton Bridge, and acting as the county seat of Floyd County, New Albany is a town with a rich history and emerging arts, culinary, and residential scene. This city sits on 15.111 square miles of land and has a population of 37,841, as of the 2020 census, a majority (~43%) of which were married couples.

New Albany’s Rich History

What started out as a tract of land given to an American Revolutionary War soldier went through several sales and owners until the 3 Scribner brothers from New York penned the town “New Albany” after Albany, New York. The town was officially incorporated in 1817 as a part of Clark County and was quickly named the county seat, and has been ever since.

The city flourished with the abundant lumber from surrounding forests fueling the steamboat industry as well as a variety of machine shops, foundries, cabinet and furniture factories, and silversmith shops. Over half of the wealthiest Hoosiers lived in New Albany during this time.

During the Civil War era, the New Albany area served as a supply center and medical care center for Union soldiers, and because of how many soldiers were treated there and/or died, President Abraham Lincoln established a national cemetery, one of only seven at the time. Despite the war, a new courthouse was built in 1865 that functioned until the 1960s and was a notable city structure for almost a century.

Other notable structures include the Town Clock Church (now the Second Baptist Church) that was used as a stop on the Underground Railroad. This church was destroyed by lightening in 1915, but a replica was finished in 2016.

As the Civil War came to a close, New Albany’s economy began a series of decline and success that bounced the city’s economics around. First opening what would become their  2nd largest business, American Plate Glass Works, in 1865, they were then boycotted from both the North for being too friendly with the South and the South for being a Union state, businesses suffered an economic blow, especially with the collapse of the steamboat industry just five years later in 1970. The city bounced back, though, and took part in an industrial boom with the addition of railroads that allowed for pork packaging and locomotive repair and the construction of a bridge to Kentucky in 1886. The American Plate Glass Works relocated in 1893, and an economic decline began with the loss of jobs and population.

Moon Dumpsters serves New Albany, IN.The 20th Century saw the largest business of New Albany come into the town – the New Albany Veneering Company – and the economic status began to improve, which was spurred on by the construction of the Sherman-Minton Bridge in 1961.

Today, the town is the host to several landmarks, including a large collection of mansions from the wealthy in the 1800s, like the Culbertson Mansion. Other popular sites of interest include the Carnegie Art and History Center, the Riverfront Amphitheatre, the River Run Family Water Park, the New Albany Farmer’s Market, and several top-rated restaurants. Foodies, families, antique lovers, theatre-goers and history nerds alike can all find something to do in New Albany!

Signs That Your Tree is Dying or Dead

/in /by

In a previous blog, we outlined the why in “Why You Should Remove Dead Trees From Your Yard,” but how do you know that your tree is dead or dying? There always seems to be a couple of dead branches or discolored leaves, but that doesn’t mean that your tree has called it quits and needs to be taken down. You should call a certified arborist for a second opinion before you contract a tree cleanup service or, only if you’re qualified, take your own tools to it, but there several signs to look out for when it comes to an injured or old tree that might be on its way out.

1. Peeling Bark

A healthy tree has healthy bark, and that might look a little bit different across species. In general, bark that is peeling unnaturally, is brittle, or is falling off signifies that there may be an issue with the tree. Do some research before you begin to worry though, because some trees, such as the Shagbark Hickory, Paperbark Maple, American Sycamore, and many strains of the birch tree all have bark that peels naturally.

2. Presence of Fungus On or Near Tree

Fungus feeds on decomposing matter, so it can be a great indicator that there is rot in or near your tree. If you see fungus shelves across your tree’s trunk, growing on exposed roots, or on the ground where the tree’s roots would be buried, then you’ll want to get a professional opinion on the tree’s health and whether or not you can treat it effectively.

3. Lack of Foliage

We all know that the leaves of most trees will change color and drop in the autumn and winter seasons, but if you notice all the other trees growing leaves, fruit, and flowers well into the spring and summer, but one tree is not, then it might be a sign of illness or death. Check the tree for other symptoms or contact an arborist if you have a dead-looking tree when it should be in full bloom!

4. Leaning

All trees grow towards the sun, and if structures or other obstructions stop a tree from getting the sunlight it needs in a straight line, then it will naturally grow at an angle and its root system will grow in a way that counterbalances the distribution of weight. But, if you previously had a tree growing towards the open sky that abruptly takes a turn and begins leaning, or you begin to see roots detaching from the ground at one side, then that’s a big sign your tree is unstable, dead, or dying.

5. No Green Under the Bark or Brittle Branches

You may have noticed that if you try breaking a stick off of a healthy tree that unless you have a sharp too to cut it, it’s very hard to tear or break past the green layer directly under the bark. If you can easily break multiple branches off or scratch the trunk of the tree and find no living layer under the bark, that means the tree has no nutrients being delivered and is likely dead.

6. Open Wounds or Cracks

Open wounds can be made by a variety of man-made or natural forces, including:

  • Lightning Strikes
  • Construction or Car Accidents
  • Storms and High Winds
  • Animal or Insect Damage
  • Improper Trimming
  • Moisture and Ice Damage

These wounds – especially if they are in a vertical, up-and-down position – can be difficult for trees to heal from on their own. With intervention from professionals, there is a possibility that your tree will survive, but it’s all dependent on the severity of the wound, how long the wound has been there, and the overall health of the tree.

Moon dumpsters will take care of your trash and household waste when it becomes unmanageable so that you don't have to burn it in your backyard.

Why You Should Never Burn Household Waste

/in , , , /by

When trash and debris start piling up, it might be ingrained in some of us that the most effective, time-saving, and economical way to get rid of it is to throw it in a heap and burn it.

Especially now, as spring edges into the weather and it warms up enough that folks take it as a sign to start shaking off the last vestiges of winter and jump right into the thick of spring cleaning and DIY projects or renovations, a lot of us find that there’s a whole lot of junk that’s accumulated over the colder months, both inside and outside.

The worst part of it is that these things might come in quantities that seem unreasonable and would require far too much work to haul to your nearest garbage dump. The only thing left to do seems to be to burn all the clutter and scraps that won’t fit in your trash container.

What you may not have been told, though, is that burning your household waste has tons of unintentional consequences – both direct and indirect.

Consider the Consequences

Barrel burning is a practice that has been outlawed by cities across the country, and for good reason. It’s the same thing as burning your household waste in your fire pit, a fireplace, or a pile of stick in your backyard.

Here’s four big, extensively-studied reasons not to burn your trash and debris!

1. It compromises your health.

Especially in small areas, smoke is never the best for you to be inhaling. But when it comes to household waste, the temperature that it burns at does not combust materials efficiently, which releases the pollutants and harmful chemicals that were used to make what you’re burning – such as plastics, rubber, and other materials that become cancerous when broken down – or were sprayed onto it, like pesticides or wood treatments, into the air. This can lead to the development or the exacerbation of severe health issues, especially for children, teenagers, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with preexisting respiratory conditions like asthma, allergies, pneumonia, bronchiolitis, or emphysema.

2. It has negative impacts on the environment.

All of those bad chemicals and pollutants don’t only affect the air quality. These byproducts can sink into the soil and infiltrate the groundwater supply, as well, especially if you’re burning in large or frequent quantities. But, even taking away the big picture, the most affected area will be that at ground zero, which means your lawn and garden will be bearing a substantial portion of the environmental impact.

3. You can’t control it.

There is very little that you can control when it comes to fire, even if it’s in a contained space in an open area. Fires can still start as trees and plants start to dry out in the warmer days, and it only takes a fly-away piece of smoldering paper to start something bigger. The smoke, especially if burning chemically-made waste, will change with the wind, and it might cause a sore spot with your neighbors, who will be just as exposed to the smell, health impacts, and environmental impacts are you and your family.

4. You could get fined.

In Kentucky and Southern Indiana, open burn violation fines can range from $2,500-$25,000. A full list of items that you can and cannot burn in Kentucky can be found on the government website in PDF format here, and the same list for Indiana can be found on their government website, as well.

Look at Other Options

Renting a dumpster is an options that can cost you less, is far easier, and much better for you, the environment, and your reputation than burning your trash.

Moon Dumpsters offers delivery right to your driveway and then straight to the dump when you’re done, so you don’t have to worry about transporting your household waste, only getting it out of your house and yard and into one of our premium dumpsters! We offer a variety of sizes that range from 6 cubic yards to 40, so you won’t have a problem finding one that isn’t overkill for a job that was just out of reach of your truck, or one that can fit big projects.

Don’t burn your household waste – send it to the Moon!

How winter changes your backyard and how to keep it alive.

How Winter Changes Your Backyard and Why You’ll Want Dumpster Rentals Come Spring

/in , , /by

Winter is a wonderful, beautiful season necessary in most parts of the world for the natural environment to flourish; unfortunately, our precisely-landscaped lawns, gardens, and outdoor structures aren’t always included in the ‘flourishing’ facet of the season. We all know that colder temperatures, less and weaker sunlight, and snowy, icy precipitation causes dormancy in most plants, but that most don’t die over the winter. Despite a lot of winter changes, your yard will likely make a comeback on its own!

So why would you need dumpster rentals in the spring?

Even if you think that you won’t need something as large as a dumpster (and Moon offers sizes as small as 6 yards for all dumpster needs), remember that bulky yard waste might not be accepted by your neighborhood garbage services, and that dumping yard waste can be illegal and have negative consequences on the environment by damaging native plants, lowering soil quality, and spreading invasive plant species.

So, even though lawns are quite resilient with the correct care and environmentally-adjusted greenery choices, the amount of work that will need to be put in when springtime comes around again depends heavily on a lot of different factors, such as:

  • The amount of pre-winter lawncare you took part in
  • The type and longevity of precipitation and weather that you experience during the winter months
  • What your vision for your springtime yard is
  • How long you’re willing to wait for full lawn recovery

Based on these components, here are some very common winter changes that make a good reason for getting dumpster rentals or your springtime yard revival so that you can save time, money, and effort!

Fallen Sticks and Limbs

Especially if you had periods of heavy precipitation followed by large amounts of snow, you sometimes might not even be aware of what lurks under the undisturbed blankets of snow until it all melts. Sticks and limbs that fall during the winter might be too water-damaged to use in backyard fires by the time you get around to it, and can fill up your yard waste bin pretty quickly if you choose to try and fit them there.

Deck Damage

The combination of heavy ice, trampled snow, and trickles of water that sit on it all winter, your deck is a very important item to check when it clears off, especially if it’s old or was already showing signs of weakness and damage before the winter. Don’t wait for injuries to happen! If you do decide that its time for a new surface and DIY the breakdown, we have a dumpster size to fit your project!

Dead Plants

Not all plants are suitable for long winters, and there are always other factors that can have a hand in taking even the most resilient plants out. Weighty ice can break down stems and support, salt from de-icers can cause dehydration and salt burns, deep frost can destroy a plant or tree’s central root system, and late frost can be a silent killer when you think you’re in the clear.

Critter Damage

While looking for a snug, snow-free home for the winter, backyard critters might cause some accidental decimation in your yard. You might find that shrubs and trees have been stripped for food or sit on top of newly-dug hole-homes that create structural instability. While most of this damage has the potential to be reversible, if your yard was a hotspot for wildlife, there might be some greenery that just won’t make a comeback in the spring. Winter changes to your yard aren’t always caused by the weather!

Frost Cracks

In a lot of cases regarding frost cracks in trees from water infiltrating the wood and expanding when it freezes, there won’t be any need for removal. But if you notice structural instability in a very young or very old tree that is dying from too many, too often and can’t take the stress, you might want to consider removal and replacement. If you aren’t convinced, here’s 5 Reasons to Remove Dead Trees from Your Yard.

Matted Grass

After months of packed-in snow, ice, and little feet pitter-pattering everything into an even more compact layer, you should expect your grass to look a little worse for wear. With some help from tips on lawncare in the late winter and early spring, your grass should come back nice and strong. But to help aerate and groom it, raking any loose debris is recommended by most lawncare experts! If you have a big yard, that might be a big job – too much for a regular yard waste bin.

New Weed Growth

Finally, after a winter off-duty from weed watching, pulling, and spraying, these pesky plants will be some of the first to pop up and thrive in the warming temperatures and increased sunlight. Once you’ve psyched yourself up for the job, Moon dumpsters is here to haul it all away!

Moon Has Your Back This Spring With Dumpster Rentals

Backyard winter changes aren’t all bad and they also aren’t all so serious that drastic measures must be taken. But, as seen above, there are many ways that changes could cause you to need dumpster rentals. Moon has you covered!

Consider renting a Moon Mini Dumpster, no matter what size project you choose to undertake. Our driveway dumpsters come in 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard capacities.

Should I remove dead trees from my yard?

5 Reasons Why You Should Remove Dead Trees From Your Yard

/in , /by

When you landscape a yard, it never seems complete without a nice, big, shady tree to hang a tire swing from or build a treehouse in. They’re sturdy, they’re hardy, and they bring an extra aesthetic and dimensional pop to your yard that you can’t always get with shrubs and flowers. But trees, just like all other organic matter, can still succumb to a whole list of afflictions that cause them to die – sometimes in obvious ways, and sometimes in more subtle ways.

When you know you have a dead tree, or even a dying tree, on your property, though, action needs to be taken.

In a forest or a heavily wooded area, these dead or dying trees are also called snag trees, and can be very helpful to the environment – so much so that there are certain amounts of snag trees often required to be left standing. This is not, however, the case when it comes to dead trees in your yard. Here’s 5 reasons why you need to remove dead trees from your yard – the sooner the better!

Why You Should Remove Dead Trees From Your Yard

1. They’re a Safety Hazard

This is the first and most important reason for you to remove dead trees is because they pose a safety risk. As trees die and begin to decompose, they also begin to lose their structural integrity. The root system holding them in the ground will likely rot away, the bark will become loose, and the wood that once made it strong crumbles.

That means that the treehouse you built becomes more liable to fall, and anyone standing near or under the tree at any point in time is taking a huge risk of falling branches. Your house is put in the danger zone should any branches or the entire tree uproot itself in a storm, and you’ll be held responsible if any cars or houses are injured in the process as well.

2. They Can Attract Pests

If you thought that your living trees were the home to a variety of insects before, you won’t want to do any exploring in your dead ones. Dead wood is an especially attractive place for insects to make their home, as the wood becomes more malleable and more easily moved – and sometimes eaten – by certain species. Some of the most dangerous pest species that can end up doing a lot more damage than taking up residence in your dead trees include:

  • Ants, especially carpenter ants
  • Wasps
  • Bees
  • Wood-Boring Beetles
  • Termites

These pests can very quickly invade your home and healthy trees and threaten their integrity, as well as accelerate the rate at which the dead tree is decomposing, which makes it even more of a safety risk.

3. They Can Infect Other Trees

Whether by infectious tree diseases or invasive pests, dead trees have a high potential of passing both the afflictions they died from or what they developed as an effect of death on to other trees. This, then, multiplies your risk of dead and unstable trees and the amount of pests on your property that can develop into an outbreak if not controlled.

This was seen with the Emerald Ash Borer, which is an invasive insect that has wiped out a huge population of Ash trees in the Midwest because control methods were not studied and implemented quickly enough. When you have a dead tree, the best defense is to remove it as quickly as possible to prevent any risk of infection or pest spread.

4. They Can Devalue Your Property

While most people think that this reason doesn’t apply to them if they aren’t actively trying to sell their house or land, it’s actually pertinent to all home owners. Anyone who has ever planted a sapling or had to treat and care for trees knows that these plants are long-term investments. In order to take into consideration your property value, you have to think in terms of the ‘big picture.’

Trees can get very big, and they play an important role in the ecosystem of your yard. Even if you aren’t planning on selling your house in the near future, keep in mind that it will take some time for that ecosystem to recover from the loss of even one tree. This, combined with the time that it will take for the area to heal in terms of aesthetics, requires some forward thinking. You might need a stump grinded down, your grass will need to regrow where falling branches may have damaged it and where the stump used to reside, and you’ll likely have A LOT of yard work and waste to clean up after the fact – all of which contributes to the property value.

5. They Can Cost You a Lot In the Long Run

As the culmination of what most of the previous reasons revolve around, dead trees will end up costing you much more than a tree removal service will if you choose to wait. Reconstruction costs if the tree falls on a house or fence, insurance if it falls on a car, a lower property value, pest removal services if pests that made a home in your dead tree invade your home, and more tree removal services if disease spreads to the surrounding trees – it can all be avoided by early detection and early removal.

Don’t wait for these costs to pop up, and when you suspect a tree on your property has died, get an expert opinion or a removal service so that you can avoid all these unnecessary costs in the long run. And then after, when you need a yard waste removal service, give Moon Dumpsters a call! We deliver dumpsters from 6-40 ft for however big your tree removal waste may be!

Consider renting a Moon Mini Dumpster, no matter what size project you choose to undertake. Our driveway dumpsters come in 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard capacities.

The area currently known as Shively was first settled by farmers in the late 1700s. Certain individuals, such as the Shively family and Colonel William Pope, owned large portions of land. Christian William Shively owned over 1,000 acres, on which he built a mill and a tavern. The tavern became a popular rest-stop for travelers on the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike, which connected downtown Louisville to the Salt River. As it grew, this area became known as the “Shively Precinct.” In the mid 1800s, Shively attracted many German immigrants who constructed St. Helen’s Catholic Church. This caused the area to briefly be known as “St. Helens.” 

What To Do in Shively

It became a way-station for many people travelling to Louisville, especially after the construction of the prosperous Westport Railway. In an effort to prevent Prospect from being overly-industrialized in the 1960s, the Hunting Creek and Fox Harbor subdivisions were built to provide desirable residences and preserve greenspace. In recent years, the affluent community of Norton Commons was constructed on the outskirts of Prospect.

7 Ways To Use A Dumpster This Summer

/in , /by

During the many months of pandemic restrictions and remote work orders, millions of people have had more time to delve into homebound activities, whether it be baking bread, planting a garden, or undergoing extensive remodeling. In fact, according to Bank of America’s 2021 Homebuyers report, over 65% of millennials intend to begin a renovation project sometime this year!

Whether you’re remodeling your entire house, finally cleaning out your garage, or just trying to repair a leaking roof, renting a mini dumpster may be the best choice you ever make! Keep reading to find out 7 common activities that call for a dumpster.

7 Ways To Use A Dumpster This Summer

1. Remodeling

Remodeling creates a lot of waste, from unwanted furniture to broken pieces of plaster, brick, wood, and other disassembled building materials. Instead of letting dust-ridden, useless trash fill up your space until you lug it to the curb, why not work as you go with a rental dumpster? Throw whatever has to go into the dumpster, and we’ll handle the rest.

2. Moving

Whether you’re moving into a new house, out of an old one, or doing both at once, you’ll likely need a dumpster rental! You’ve got junk. Whether it’s yours or the previous owner of your new house, you likely want it gone, fast, and a dumpster is the quickest, easiest way of providing space for congregating everything you don’t need.

3. Garage Cleanout

Many of us use our garages as secondary storage, allowing them to fill up with old furniture, toys, tools, and other unneeded items. If you’re thinking about taking a deep-dive into your garage this summer, or maybe hosting a garage sale, consider renting a Moon dumpster first! With a dumpster, you can quickly sort through what really matters, bringing the peace of mind of a renewed and organized space.

4. Landscaping

You may not think it, but landscaping your yard produces a lot of waste! More particularly: topsoil, loose concrete, plant scraps, old bricks, dead tree limbs and brush, a rotting deck, etc. A mini dumpster is not only convenient, but under-the-radar, allowing a months-long or days-long project to be kept tidy. Nobody wants their trash to hinder their progress, right?

5. Community Projects

If you’re involved in your local neighborhood organization, you may take part in endeavors such as a community garden, a neighborhood block party, a park clean-up, or a multi-home yard sale. Split the costs of a dumpster with your community to make the process as smooth sailing as possible!

6. Home Repairs

From natural disasters to regular wear-and-tear, all houses need repairs in time. If you’re planning any repairs this month, consider renting a dumpster. Whether you’re dealing with a flooded basement, replacing the roof, or tearing down a broken fence, a dumpster is integral to streamlining the process.

7. Hosting An Event

Eco-Friendly Remodeling

/in , /by

Remodeling your home can involve a lot of materials and waste. Fortunately, there are many ways you can ensure you are reducing the impact your remodel has on the environment. Here are some simple ways to do eco-friendly remodeling!

Green Materials: Paint, Roofing, Flooring, and More

The materials you use are one area where you can go a long way in reducing your impact. These days, since so many people are eco-conscious, it’s not difficult to find green solutions. Take paint, for example. Did you know that you can buy VOC-free paint? VOC (volatile organic compounds) are toxic and found in many traditional paints, and can leak into the environment. You can buy VOC-free paint to avoid this issue.

Paint isn’t the only material you use that probably has a green alternative. Everything from roofing and flooring to stains and caulks have green options on the market today. If you are willing to put in the work to find them, you can significantly improve how eco-friendly your remodel will be.

Water-Efficiency

If you’re re-doing a bathroom or kitchen, water is something else you should think about. Some faucets are more efficient than others. There are kinds of faucets that are low-flow, meaning they reduce the rate at which water flows. This is a helpful technique to lower how much water you use when doing everything from washing your hands, taking a shower, or doing the dishes. Consider low-flow faucets and showerheads to reduce how much water your household uses.

Energy-Efficiency for Eco-Friendly Remodeling

There are a couple of ways you can increase the energy efficiency of your home too. For starters, consider how you’re lighting the house. Any way you can utilize natural lighting through windows or glass doors will dramatically lower your electric usage. Additionally, if you do need light bulbs, go for LEDs as they are the most efficient type.

In the kitchen, you’ll want to think about the efficiency of your appliances. Your refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, and dishwasher can all benefit from an efficiency analysis. Plus, your stove itself might need a second look. Today, there are many electric stoves that are extremely efficient, and better for the environment than gas stoves.
Look for Used Furniture

If you are looking to replace or add in some furniture, consider buying used or refurbished to cut down on your impact. There are a number of refurbished furniture stores and non-profits that can offer a great selection. You can even peruse a local yard sale and stumble across a hidden gem that you could reuse for your home. Avoiding a new piece of furniture will let you lower your carbon footprint even more.

Moon Dumpsters makes sure that waste disposal is as environmentally-friendly as possible, with efficient trucks and green disposal practices. To learn more about Moon’s full-service dumpster rentals and get the dumpsters you need, visit our website or call us at 502-772-2821 today!

Dumpster Rentals with Moon Dumpsters

/in /by

Renting a dumpster is a great way to handle personal, commercial, and other types of projects. There are a lot of sizes and types of dumpsters that you can select from in the process. Here’s an overview of the dumpster rentals we offer and recommend for different projects.

Residential Dumpster Rentals

Moon Dumpsters offers a variety of dumpsters for rent that can take care of any size residential job. Our residential dumpsters are ideal for kitchen and bathroom demolitions, remodeling projects, and more. These dumpsters start as small as 6 cubic yards and go all the way up to 20 cubic yards.

A 6 yard dumpster is a great option for smaller remodeling projects like a small kitchen demolition, a basement overhaul, or redoing a garage. Many of our customers also choose this size for a lawn or yard cleanup. It offers enough space for those smaller projects at a great price.

A 9 yard dumpster offers a bit more space then the 6 yarder. As such, it’s a perfect fit for a normal sized kitchen remodeling job, or even a small kitchen plus bathroom remodel. It is also great for a deck demolition up to dimensions of 10’x18’. This dumpster will serve more medium-sized basement or garage renovations well too.

12 and 16 yard dumpsters offer extra space that you may need for some of those larger remodeling or demolition projects around the house. A large kitchen, basement, or garage that you are working on would benefit from this size. Our customers who are working on multiple smaller or average-sized projects tend to select this size too, given the extra space it provides. In particular, the 16 yard dumpster is a good option for multi-project needs given the large amount of debris and items it can hold.

Our 20 yard dumpster is the largest residential dumpster we offer. It has the capacity to handle all of the projects our smaller dumpsters can, at a larger scale. It’s also a good fit for a significant home addition project, a large fencing job, or a multi-deck demolition. This is the dumpster to rent if you know you’ll have a lot of material to content with.

30 and 40 Yard Dumpsters

Moon’s 30 and 40 yard dumpsters are an excellent choice for commercial jobs that need space for waste at a large scale. Our customers typically include contractors, construction sites, large building demolitions, and even commercial recycling jobs. The massive space these dumpsters offer make them very useful for large scale professional jobs.
